Abstract: The overall aim of the seminar was to gain a common understanding of the potential and the limits of national forest programs (NFP) related to forestry and forest industries. A secondary objective was to point out promising research needs in the context of national policy planning and co-ordination related to forests and forestry. Volume I consists of 17 seminar papers focusing on theoretical considerations in connection with formulation and implementation of NFPs. Furthermore, it summarises the main arguments and the results of several workshops. Volume II contains the country reports (16) describing the state of-the-art in formulation and implementation of NFPs in different European countries. Volume III has 10 papers on the implementation of NFPs in the South.

Keywords: Sustainability, Forest management, Planning, Forest policy, Environmental management, Environmental policy, Tropics.
